The costs involved in installing cooking fixtures, correct venting, guest areas, and computer systems is significant. Once purchased and installed, you want to protect these assets should an unexpected event such as a fire, break-in, or flood occur. Restaurant insurance is essential, and it must be a policy which allows you to repair or replace any items that have been damaged or stolen.

Restaurant owners have a different set of problems than most other enterprises. Not only do restaurant owners need general liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance, they must also have property coverage, employment practices liability insurance, liquor liability coverage, coverage that will protect against identify theft, coverage for all valuable papers, and insurance for loss of income. If you have delivery staff or drivers, you need adequate commercial vehicle insurance as well.
